Note: All students are required to have a signed course plan approved from the Department prior to graduation
Electives require approval of students graduate committee or graduate program advisor.
Languages such as C, C++ and JAVA might be needed. These are offered at the undergraduate level; not for graduate credit.
(1) Two CECS graduate faculty with the student's advisor must devise a plan of study with the student during the first semester outlining the requirements for successful completion of the non-thesis option. The study plan will be forwarded to the Graduate School for further approval and documentation
(2) The technical electives may be chosen from an engineering area other than EMCS. The technical electives may be chosen in the engineering science area or engineering design area.
